Dating & Escort Agencies

If you've been single for a while then it's inevitable that at some stage or other, the subject of dating agencies will arise. It might be of your own thinking, or more likely it'll be a friend pushing you in that direction.
Partly to satisfy my own curiousity, and partly to prevent some of my friends continually advising me to do so, I registered with a well known and heavily advertsied dating agency...not that I had much joy!

I dare say that there are some wonderful romantic love stories of people meeting on the internet using these dating agencies...but I wasn't one of them.
After the pretty intense and gruelling on-line questionaire I sat back and awaited the flood of interest! Lol.
Unbelievably, I was receiving about 20 so-called compatible matches every day.
Yet after closer scrutiny, very few were actually compatible to my original preferences ~ they were either outside the location range, didn't meet the physical or intellegence parameters I set, or they were just completely off the scale!

However, within one monthly period, I did receive serious interest from four local ladies.
The first I went on a date with and although we enjoyed a good night, there was no spark there for me.
The other three all let me down by either having a change of heart, or a last minute case of nerves!
All three set up a date, time and venue for a date, yet all three bailed out at the last moment.
One had a migraine, and the other two suddenly decided to go back to their ex-boyfriends.
I was understanding towards all three women, but I never heard from the girl with the migraine again, and although the other two later admitted that things didn't work out second time around with their boyfriends, they had decided to take themselves 'off the market' (their words, not mine) for the time being.
So feeling totally disillussioned I unsubscribed from the agency, and thought I'd stick to the conventioanl methods of meeting women, such as in a bar, at the supermarket, walking the dog etc...

With regards to escort agencies, well I guess there may be a seedy side wrongly associated with them.
People's pre-conceived perceptions may be of back-street brothels and dark alley-ways, but this isn't the case believe me.
I speak from experience, but not neccesarily in the way that you may be thinking, although I must confess to going through a rather hedonistic phase in my life for a while when I thought my life was going to end, so I wanted to go out with a bang (excuse the pun) and I spent all my money on women and booze...I must have wasted the rest!
No, my real knowledge and education on this subject was gained by dating an ex-top-shelf model & lapdancer for a while. Hearing her stories and enjoying her company put a lot of these misplaced perceptions into perspective.

Looking at it from another viewpoint from a lonely man's perspective, think about functions like weddings for a minute, if you will.
There is nothing worse than being a spare part at a wedding. I've attended many weddings as a single person and I've been lucky in that there were plenty of friends in attendance making me feel welcome and not making me feel left out.
Besides, there's always the possibility of chatting up one of the other guests or better still, a bridesmaid!
But imagine if you were due to attend a wedding and you didn't know anyone there other than the bride and groom, then surely under these circumstances it would be worth hiring a companion to boost your confidence and self-esteem? Just a thought...

In summary I can draw one definitive conclusion in the differences between dating agencies and escort agencies ~ with an escort agency, you know exactly what you are getting including the cost, whereas with a dating agency, you never quite know if what you're expecting is for real, and you have no idea how much it's going to cost you in the long-run!
